Starting with watering the World Tree for otherworldly survival

Page 207

"Besides! This desert has already been designated as our Black Skull Clan's territory. How could a dragon possibly come here without permission? Madam, if you're going to lie, at least come up with a plausible reason!"

Sapno brandished his sword, and the hundred-man squad behind him immediately charged forward in perfect unison, their battle cries deafening, clearly not ordinary bandits.

The caravan's guards and mercenaries also got into position, ready to fight the bandit gang that was robbing both money and goods.

Suddenly, two bolts of lightning, the most symbolic signs of their identities, lashed down from mid-air. A terrifying thunderclap immediately shattered the sand dunes; it was the blue dragon sisters, Moya and Mona.

"Foolish thieves! Would we, the Azure Dragon Clan, stoop to cooperating with you? Now, let your lives prove whether Black Skull is ruthless enough, or whether our Azure Dragon Clan can uproot you completely!"

To leverage the power of the Zhanbi tribe, it was inconvenient for Wolper, Qin Xinru, and Zhong Xiling to make an appearance, especially Wolper, being a purple dragon, who was most likely to attract attention.

Therefore, the ten giant dragons immediately spread their wings and soared into the air, surrounding and killing the hundred-strong bandit gang right in the middle!

"You cannot escape! You petty thieves of humanity, you worms of the desert, are you ready to face the wrath of the dragon?"

Before the opponent could surrender, the red dragon Soss unleashed a breath of dragon fire from the sky.

The power of a lower-level eighth-order adult red dragon is not to be underestimated. The torrent of dragon flames immediately poured down, scattering the masked bandits wielding knives and axes.

The power to sinter sand into glass is something the bandit gang would never want to face.

Seeing this, Sapno knew he had been tricked by the Zhanbi tribe and roared angrily:

"Lizard! If you dare to make a move today, my boss will definitely cut off your leader's head! And slaughter the dragons to the last man. Do you dare to try?"

Sapno's response was a torrent of poisonous breath spewed out by the green dragon.

"Go down and talk to your boss if you have something to say!"

Poisonous fog shrouded the battlefield, and the dragons immediately spread their wings and tightened their encirclement. If they were truly surrounded by these ten dragons in the center…

Today, the second battalion of the Black Skull bandit gang will be completely wiped out.

As the second captain ordered a retreat, the hundred-person battle group officially crashed into the "gap" that the dragon's encirclement had deliberately left for them.

With the white dragon cutting off the retreat route, the other three black dragons have not yet formed a united defense.

If the bandit group wants to survive, their only chance is to break through the weakest point, the White Dragon, before the encirclement is fully formed.

Using a whistle, similar to that of the elven tribes, as a secret signal for communication, Sapno said:

"(Everyone, listen up! Fire arrows at the white dragon, and raise your magical shields to block its breath. Create an opening through the white dragon; the spellcaster and I will cover your retreat!)"

Even if they knew it might be a trap, if they didn't take the risk, the whole team would only die even faster.

The order was given, and immediately the hundred-man squad drew their bows and nocked their arrows, while Sapno also took out his crossbow.

Arrows flew towards the white dragon. The white dragon dodged several of the most lethal arrows but endured the barrage of other arrows.

At that very moment, Sapno and his bandits, riding their desert warhorses, desperately erected a magical shield and charged out of the deadly net of Dragon's Breath!

If there were only one or two dragons, some people might have a chance to survive if everyone scattered and ran. But now, the Azure Jade tribe has sent out ten dragons!

If they were to scatter, they would truly be a disorganized mess, easily defeated. For now, at least their magical shields can hold for a while longer.

As the bandits' horses drew closer, deploying a small, concentrated protective shield was the only way to resist the dragon's breath and magic in order to conserve magic energy and fighting spirit.

Naturally, this was also part of the dragons' calculations.

"It's time. Keep an eye on the flanks."

Blue Dragon Mona gave the order, and the other dragons swarmed forward—

Green and black dragons flanked them, unleashing magic in addition to spewing dragon breath. The decaying sand dunes and the serpentine, undulating magical plants served as a stark reminder of the terrifying dragons lurking behind the bandits.

"You—can't escape!"

The scorching breath, as if it were free, easily burned and destroyed the magical shield.

Faced with the intimidation and roar of the red dragon Sos, many vicious bandits trembled and almost fell off their horses.

"That's it, White Dragon!"

At Noahs's command, the white dragon immediately unleashed a breath of frost. Combined with the freezing mist spell, it froze the sand beneath the bandits' feet into thick, solid ice!

It was only then that Sapno saw what lay at the end of this deadly ice bridge—

"It's...it's a horned dinosaur's lair! Everyone, retreat! Stop!"

Realizing something was wrong, but surrounded by dragons, where could this hundred-man team possibly escape to?

The dragons flapped their giant wings, and the fierce wind pressure instantly knocked over the horses that were struggling to maintain their balance in their panic.

In an instant, the horses broke off their hooves, and everyone fell onto the solid ice, sliding into the Black Horned Dragon's quicksand trap.

This hundred-man brigade, including the weight of the men and their desert warhorses, immediately sank into the Black Horned Dragon's lair!

……

As the sand fell, most of the weaker bandit groups were trapped in the quicksand and fell to the ground along with the sand piles that fell from above.

Sapno fought desperately, gathering all his fighting spirit as he slid into the quicksand, and leaped into the air.

They didn't suffocate in the quicksand, nor did they fall to their deaths in the giant lair of the horned dragon.

Next, Sapno and several other elite survivors would face the most deadly thing in the entire horned dragon's lair—

A Blackhornosaurus, much larger and more beautiful than usual, was looking after the dragon egg in the center of the sand dune. Her massive curved horns, powerful talons, and axe-like tail club were all relaxed.

She even piled up a lot of fresh cacti in her nest.

When an intruder crashed into her nest, the Blackhornosaurus immediately turned around and shielded the eggs behind her.

"Roar!!!"

The Black Horned Dragon sensed something falling into the quicksand trap in its nest and immediately spread its wings and roared angrily!

The roar of this black-horned dragon was even more deafening than the roars of ordinary dragons. The sound had barely reached their ears when several bandits' eardrums ruptured, and blood spurted from their wounds.

The unlucky fellow who had just crawled out of the quicksand was trampled into mincemeat by the Black Horned Dragon.

"run!"

The top is a trap, and the horned dragon's lair also has a passageway leading to the outside world for entry and exit. So—

"Stay close to the wall, don't let it ram its corners through you. Quick!"

Using the loudest voice he could muster, Sapno tried to alert the remaining survivors. But they could no longer hear him.

Following Sapno, the group immediately rolled over and hid behind the wall of the horned dragon's lair. By doing so, if the black horned dragon pounced, its massive horns would get stuck in the boulder of the wall.

But the Black Diablos, though much more ferocious than the usual Diablos, is not stupid.

The black-horned dragon lunged forward, but managed to land firmly in front of the stone wall. It braced itself with its feet, spun around, and then unleashed a powerful, axe-like tail strike!

Several elite soldiers who didn't have time to crouch were blasted away by the tail hammer, coughing up blood and quickly dying.

"You dare to come to my lair? You're asking for death!"

Ordinary monsters cannot speak human language; only individuals with sufficient strength, innate human-level beauty, and acquired skills can.

Blackhornosaurus clearly belongs to the second type. Any individual that is so beautiful and otherworldly will receive the blessing of the gods.

They are born with the ability to transform into human form, master a common human language, and even understand and learn human habits, no matter how savage they may be.

This black-horned dragon, after transforming into human form, collected a large number of cacti and piled them up in its cool nest to eat.

Soon, the Black Horned Dragon exhaled a cloud of black smoke, the kind of smoke emitted when a horned dragon is angry. Enveloped in the black smoke, she quickly transformed into human form.

Huge, exaggeratedly dark horns, and black leather boots made of wing membranes.

A rough-textured dragon tail swung behind her, and she wore a black killer sweater that exposed her bare shoulders, highlighting her extremely hot figure.

Neither appearance nor physique could justify Sapno's disdain for the Black Horned Dragon before him. Not to mention its tail club, shrunk to human proportions, was already pressed against Sapno's gaunt neck.

"Who let you in?" The black-horned dragon used its tail to restrain Sapno, its black stockings embracing its overflowing, plump thighs, crushing the shoulders of the withered woman beneath its feet.

"Black Skull Bandit Gang—I heard you plundered caravans around here and even made a deal with that dragon tribe. Tell me... how many of you are left? Don't make me kill them one by one to count them!"

Gazing at the few dragon eggs deep within the nest, the Black Horned Dragon's eyes softened slightly, but its feet had already crushed Sapno's shoulder.

"We were... chased and ended up here! Don't get cocky, it'll be your turn soon. Our boss needs a Black Horned Dragon's hide, and if you kill me now, she'll definitely cut off your head and use it as a decoration!"

On his deathbed, Sapno unexpectedly discovered that the black horned dragon before him was an extremely rare and beautiful individual who could understand and speak human language.

Having this appearance means that no matter how savage she is, she possesses humanoid thinking abilities. She's no ordinary monster.

But by threatening the Blackhorn Dragon, she was committing the last mistake of her life.

The black-horned dragon girl, dressed in an assassin sweater and stockings, quickly reverted to her original form and used her tail hammer to crush Sapno into mincemeat on the spot.

Despite possessing near-humanoid intelligence, the Black Horned Dragon also acts on its wild instincts. Like the Red and White Dragons, it relies more on brute force than intelligence.

"Hmph, just leave the corpses here, and I'll take the babies to live somewhere else, won't I?"

In this area, the Black Horned Dragon actually has more than one nest. She ran towards the dragon eggs, then transformed back into her dragon girl form and picked them up.

"too big……"

The three horned dragon eggs were each the size of a giant watermelon. For the Black Horned Dragon in its current dragon girl form, moving them would be far too difficult.

Even with this dragon girl's body, she could still burrow underground. The black-horned dragon quickly pulled out a skeleton, which was missing a hand, with the bone part of the hand held in her hand.

"Hmm... yeah, this is how it's supposed to be used. I need to hurry..."

After putting the storage ring on his hand and trying it out, the Black Horned Dragon put the three horned dragon eggs inside.

Blackhorn Dragon's plan was simple: go to another nest to hatch dragon eggs, and once the baby horn dragons hatched, wipe out the Black Skull Bandit Gang.

"Good evening, madam. It seems my subordinates underestimated you. A normal Black Horned Dragon would be staying in its lair by now, waiting for Black Skull to gather her bandit army to come and subdue it."

"However, you are well aware of the gap in strength. Your decision to lie low for a while is excellent. 'Dean of Deep Purple' Volper Darkwing invites you to join the dragonflight and pledge your allegiance to our mistress."

Standing guard at the exit, Volper blocked the Black Horned Dragon's path with his True Sin Double Scythes.

“We have the best incubation measures to help the baby ceratops grow strong and intelligent. There are also cacti, water, and new nests…”

Before he could finish speaking, the Black Horned Dragon immediately transformed back into its true form and charged forward. Its powerful pounce was like an unstoppable dragon-shaped armored vehicle hurtling towards him at breakneck speed.

"Get out of my lair!"

As a horned dragon, she had nothing to do with dragons or hunters; Volper, on the other hand, possessed both. The black horned dragon immediately charged at her with all its might!

“Oh… alright, Ms. Blackhorn Dragon. I hope you can reconsider. In the meantime, I may offend you slightly in order to protect myself, please forgive me.”

Speaking to a dragon like that, Volper was already being extremely respectful. With a flap of her wings, she leaped forward, a wave of demonic energy surging from her body.

Wielding her twin scythes, she leaped directly onto the top of the black-horned dragon's head, spinning and executing perfect slashes along its head, neck, back, and tail.

Whirling and swirling in the air... the Black Horned Dragon was quite familiar with this move. She had already knocked down many hunters who dared to attack her with it.

As Volper finished his attack, his axe-like dragon tail swung down immediately.

"Miss Blackhorn Dragon, I think we can resolve this peacefully. Because you are incapable of killing me!"

Reverting to its original form, Volper's twenty-meter-long dragon body directly confronted the attack head-on. Its whip-like tail blocked the Black Horned Dragon's tail hammer—

Furthermore, new dragon reinforcements have arrived at the entrance to the lair!

Red, blue, green, black, and white—ten giant dragons immediately surrounded the Black Horned Dragon. Even if it tried to escape by burrowing into the sand, it would be difficult to break free from their grasp.

Chapter 303 Madam, you don’t want to either...

The Black Horned Dragon already felt immense pressure just facing Volper. Not to mention, now ten giant dragons had surrounded it.

Compared to humanoids who are fragile and easily broken, dragons are not so easily dealt with.

The flying ability of horned dragons has degenerated to a very limited extent, and in terms of running maneuverability, they can hardly outrun dragons that can fly and use magic.

The only way to survive is to dig a hole and escape, but dragons can also dig holes.

In desperation, the Black Diablos pounced on the weaker White Diablos first. When surrounded, targeting and killing the weakest prey is her consistent strategy.

Faced with the Black Horned Dragon, whose strength and aggression are terrifying, the White Dragon obviously wouldn't engage in a direct confrontation.

"Fanny, fly up and get away first. Then use your breath to seal the ground and make her slip!"

Fanny Frostmoon, that's the name of the white dragon. Upon hearing Volper's telepathic message, Fanny immediately took to the air, unleashing a burst of frost breath in conjunction with a freezing mist spell, attempting to repeat her previous tactic.

However, because she didn't have time to fly very high, Fanny's legs were scraped by the Black Horned Dragon's charge, and many of her scales were broken and torn apart by the force.

Fortunately, by sacrificing some evasion, her countermeasures against the collision were quite effective. Fanny successfully caused the Black Horned Dragon to slip and crash headfirst into the stone wall.

“Well done!”

Red Dragon Sos gave a slight approval and was the first to pounce on the Black Horned Dragon. With Sos's brute strength, he was able to hold his own against the Black Horned Dragon for a time.

According to estimates, she possesses strength equivalent to an eighth-tier lower-level dragon.
